Blue Dog Democrats Voting for Cap and Trade
Posted on June 27, 2009
Crossposted at Truth and Reason
There are 52 Blue Dog Democrats in the Blue Dog Coalition.
22 of them voted Yes on Cap and Trade (HR 2454, American Clean Energy and Security Act) Friday evening, in a bill that narrowly passed the House 219-212. That’s just over 42% of supposedly “conservative” Democrats voting Yes on a VERY liberal piece of legislation than no one had a chance to even read.

If you live in any the blue areas below, and your representative’s name is listed above, you need to replace them with a conservative Republican. No excuses.
Blue Dog Democrat district map
I count 8 that are from southern states that depend largely on farming. At least 2 others are from mostly conservative states (OH and AZ). We only needed 7 of these 9 to defeat the bill. Every one of these 22 needs be replaced in 2010.
Many are jumping on the 8 GOP turncoats who voted Yes: Bono Mack, Castle, Kirk, Lance, LoBiondo, McHugh, Reichert, and Smith(NJ). But these are mostly RINO’s. Are we really that surprised?
Michelle Malkin asks of the 8 GOP turncoats: “We still want to know: What were your payoffs/earmarks?” Who will ever know?
I’m more surprised at the 22 of 52 Blue Dogs that voted Yes than I am of the 8 GOP turncoats. But I’m also more confident that conservatives can recruit and elect conservative Republicans in most, if not all, of these 22 districts.

Lets not forget : Supposed fiscal Conservative Scott Murphy in the 20th congressional district supported the legislation with open arms, and Congressman liberalcrat Paul Tonko supported the legislation as well, from the 21st congressional district (my district) where farming is key.
Thanks you liberal idiots! Is it 2010 yet?
I think this country is screwed. These insane liberals are too smart. They’re masters at manipulation.
I’d like to leave the country, but where does one go to?

My Republican Congressman Says Cap and Trade is Good for America.
And, he caught the Green River Killer.
Did you catch the Green River Killer?
No, no you didn’t.
You can hear his interview here.

Dave Reichert SPEAKS: says Cap and Trade will be good for America
He argued that the expense would not be what the Heartland Institute, Heritage Foundation, and Wall Street Journal were predicting. He argued that it would cost around $.48 per day and that we would have better national security, more nuclear, coal and refining capabilities, and a cleaner environment with the bill. He argued that the conservative arguments against were mistaken, and that Washington specifically would be better off even though the bill was imperfect.
And, he caught the Green River Killer.
Yeah, it took him a couple of decades, but better late than never.
I hear Fox was thinking about making the Series 24 about Reichert. But instead of showing 24 hours in a day they would have to make each episode a year.
